Villa Petrosa

Villa Petrosa is a perfect blend of past and present, and is a fine example of local, middle-class architecture. Originally part of a 19th century merchant's house, this Villa has been given a sensitive restoration to show its unique character. We have dedicated ourselves to designing a modern, comfortable and luxurious accommodation with an historic and educational touch. Whether you are looking forward to a romantic holiday, an annual family trip, or simply want to enjoy the beautiful Dubrovnik region with its wonderful architecture and food, Villa Petrosa is perfectly located and will allow you to recharge your batteries and nourish your body and soul. Beautiful private beach with parking place is provided for guests of this Villa in small fisherman's place Molunat 10 km away. Villa is located in the village of Gruda, the center of the Konavle region, just 10 km from Dubrovnik International Airport, and close to many attractions. An excellent bus service connects you to anywhere you want to go (6am to 9pm). (We also offer an option of villa + car rental.) Banks, post office, bus station, grocery stores, doctor, café bars, green market, fish market, pharmacy, hairdresser, etc. are a few minutes' walking distance from the apartment. You can find here many interesting historical places and traditional rural restaurants where you can enjoy delicious home-grown food. For example: • Water mills on the river Ljuta at the famous restaurant 'Konavoski Dvori' where waitresses wear the traditional costumes of the region (2 km or 20 minutes' walking distance). • Highly-recommended traditional restaurant 'Koraceva kuca' (5 minutes' walking distance). • Cavtat – gem of the Mediterranean (12 km) is a perfect place to go for a fish dinner, night life or day trip (mausoleum by sculptor Ivan Meštovic, Vlaho Bukovac house, etc.). • Molunat – a fishermen's village with nice beaches and following the traditional way of fishing (10 km). • The town of Dubrovnik (25 km) is the historical and cultural centre of this area.
